001 Dignity of the Slave
Li Yu sat there, wrapping a bandage on his fist and recalling the past days.
The youth in my memory is all about studies. Studying day after day, the scope of activities is almost limited to the campus, teaching buildings, canteens, dormitories, playgrounds... In addition to studying, what is on my mind every day is the mobile phone hidden under the quilt in the dormitory, and
A rare physical education class.
It was painful at the time, but now I can only miss it.
Suddenly, a clear girl's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"The recording is complete, are you ready?"
It's not Chinese, English or any other language from the old era, but the standard language promoted in the new era. Of course Li Yu couldn't understand it when he woke up, but he was able to understand it after being implanted with a language plug-in. In the arena
The more than a year he spent there was enough for him to become thoroughly familiar with it.
As familiar as a mother tongue.
Li Yu raised his head and saw the little nurse standing in front of him who had just finished speaking.
She was wearing a white nurse's suit, with long straight black hair hanging down to her shoulders, a pair of big eyes that flickered, and her makeup was elegant and extraordinary.
This kind of appearance, in the era that Li Yu was familiar with, was undoubtedly the level of a school beauty, the kind that could attract a group of licking dogs. But nowadays, so-called plastic surgery is too simple, and beauty has been devalued.
And in the current situation, Li Yu has no extra thoughts to care about others.
He tightened the bandage, stood up and nodded.
The nurse operated the instrument and recorded his real-time physical condition. No matter how serious the injury was, as long as he did not die on the spot, the nanorobots in his body could repair it later.
The reason why slaves in the arena can be reused is the most critical technology.
Li Yu majored in molecular biology, and he knew very well what a terrifying technological level this meant. But outside of technology, something was really wrong with this era...
However, in order to survive, he had no choice.
Li Yu moved his wrists and walked towards the door, ready for a new round of fighting.
At this moment, the clear voice of the nurse sounded from behind him: "You are a remnant of the old era, right?"
Why are there so many unnecessary conversations?
Li Yu turned around in slight surprise and stared at her quietly.
The nurse smiled shyly: "I'm sorry, I'm just a little curious. Oh, by the way, you can just call me Ella."
Li Yu: "Hello, Ella."
Nurse Ella asked again: "I know I shouldn't tell you, but... I'm a little curious about the old times. Was there no Kingdom of God at that time?"
Li Yu pointed to the sky expressionlessly.
Ella smiled slyly like a little fox: "I turned on the shield so that others can't hear here. So, it doesn't matter if you say something disrespectful to the Kingdom of God. Besides, you are a slave, what else can they do to you?
What are you afraid of?"
Li Yu became more and more surprised: "Turn on the shield just to ask this?"
Ella nodded vigorously: "I'm really curious!"
Li Yu took a deep look: "The doctors and nurses I met before didn't dare to be so presumptuous. Your... background must not be simple."
Ella smiled and said: "Maybe it's more complicated than you think."
Li Yu's eyes narrowed: "Then you can..."
"Help you get rid of your slave status?" Ella stopped smiling and shook her head, "I'm sorry, no slave can walk out of the arena alive."
"Then what else is there to say?" Li Yu turned around and left.
So many battles have already given him the consciousness to fight for a lifetime. It is already a miracle that he can wake up after nearly a hundred years. From a rational perspective, he does not think there will be a second miracle.
It's bad enough to be treated as entertainment items in the arena, but it's even worse to have a glimmer of hope that was quickly extinguished.
"You were born at the beginning of the last century and were the first experimental subject of non-destructive hibernation, right?"
Li Yu went out and closed the door, blocking Ella's eager voice inside.
————
The arena is like a football field.
The huge scale, oval shape, and surrounding auditoriums are exactly the same as the football fields of the old days. The only difference is that the ground is not paved with turf, but flat and rough loess - this is also like
It was the Colosseum in ancient Rome.
There were many spectators, and they were quite enthusiastic. Countless roars and shouts echoed on the loess, making it difficult for Li Yu to hear what they were shouting. Looking at it, he could only see the shaking bodies of those people and the masks on their faces.
I have a telescope, but I can't see the exact face.
Standing more than ten meters in front of his opponent, he was a blond Caucasian with blue eyes and a diagonal scar on his face. Judging from his appearance, he was undoubtedly a ruthless man. He twisted his wrist and asked with a sinister smile: "Are you already scared?"
Li Yu didn't answer, just stared at him quietly.
The host floating in the air shouted "The battle begins", and then the battle began.
The opponent took a few steps and quickly approached, and with a low kick, he kicked Li Yu in the calf.
He gritted his teeth and tensed up, taking the blow forcefully.
Then came the second, third, and fourth kicks, four consecutive low sweeps, all of which hit his calves on both sides. It was like a whip, causing burning pain.
Li Yu remained silent, just observing the opponent's movements, especially the subtle movements of footsteps and joints. The opponent's eyes were very ferocious, but it did not affect Li Yu's emotions.
He just found that this opponent was obviously too aggressive and seemed to only focus on offense and not on defense.
Is this guy not afraid of death?
"Are you a target? You have the guts!"
The opponent roared like this and kicked again. But the difference from the previous times was that this time the kick seemed to be a low sweep, but the knee suddenly lifted up and went straight to the throat.
However, Li Yu suddenly took half a step forward, his center of gravity was slightly pressed, his left arm suddenly raised his elbow, and his right hand protected his ribs.
In a flash of lightning, the opponent's high sweep was blocked only halfway.
Li Yu's elbow hit his knee. Both of them exerted force, and their joints collided. But different postures led to completely different results.
Li Yu's left elbow was shaken violently, but it only hurt a little.
The opponent's right knee was bent unnaturally.
"Ahhh--" The guy couldn't help but roar in pain, but he didn't fall down immediately. Instead, he became even crazier. He opened his arms and grabbed Li Yu's throat desperately.
Li Yu quickly took two steps back, opened the distance slightly, turned sideways and kicked his opponent on the chest.
"Crack..."
He heard the sound of bones cracking.
The opponent couldn't stand up anymore, but his face became more ferocious and he glared at him angrily.
Li Yu stood there, looking down at him.
He took a big breath, and suddenly there was a pleading in his eyes. His lips trembled, and he whispered: "Can you kill me?"
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood why this guy was so crazy just now.
Seek death.
Seeing that Li Yu seemed indifferent, anger once again took over the strange eyes. The gladiator lying on the ground coughed up blood, bit his tongue and tried to get up again to continue fighting. However, he couldn't breathe, and he fainted.
Li Yu stood there silently, standing in the cheers of countless spectators, and did not feel the joy of victory.
Today's gladiator is a clearance battle. Of the dozens of slave gladiators, only one can leave the arena standing. The other gladiators either go into the medical cabin or into body bags.
The wheeled robot quickly arrived, picked up the defeated opponent, and carried it away.
Li Yu noticed that in addition to the vomited blood, there was a wet mark on his opponent's crotch.
He shook his head, breathed softly, shook off excess emotions and emotions, and prepared himself mentally for the next duel.
